Happy 7 months to me and my bear!
7 months in and this is where we’re at:
Layla Bear has officially cut through her first two teeth and she did it like a champ. No fuss or middle of the night wake up calls. Thank goodness. However I hear these are easy teeth to cut through.
Still sleeping through the night. No sleep regression here. Thank goodness.
Still pumping and I can’t believe I have made it this far! Pumping is hard! Harder than nursing but easier if that makes sense. Nursing not working out was the best thing to happen to us ( for multiple reasons ) and I have zero desire to nurse baby #2. My mental health is much more important than how my kid is fed. I’m a firm a believer of Happy Mama = Happy Baby!
Formula isn’t poison. When I stopped nursing, my supply took a dip and I’ve had to supplement ever since. Layla is 50/50 and is thriving perfectly!
Layla is a huge fan of babyfirsttv. This channel is a must, y’all!
My husband and I have officially become those parents that sings songs from their kids show. We have found ourselves singing these songs way after our kid has gone to bed and we may or not have watched an episode of Harry the Bunny after Layla had gone to bed. True story!
Date nights are rare around here unless we have parents visiting. But we make it a point to have multiple date nights at home after Layla goes to bed because we’re firm believers that your marriage is just as important as it was before there was a kid. ~ Time for ourselves is super important to us and the big reason we trained Layla to get on a schedule and out of our bedroom at 2.5 months.
Postpartum hair loss is still here. Like when does it go away?? I’ve tried everything and nothing has helped. Thank goodness for big tacky bows to hide the hideousness.
Separation Anxiety is a real thing for both Mom and Baby. Layla is handling pretty well but the true test is when we leave her behind next month for a weekend trip. I on the other hand is having a hard time.. and I can’t imagine how much harder it’s going to be next month. Advice and tips will greatly be appreciated.
That is all for now friends!

I don’t get to workout much at all anymore.... BUT, I’ve been using Parker and doing some at home workouts along with going to the gym (when I do go) and I’m so happy to see my butt SLOWLY lifting 🙈. Don’t take offense to my sharing. #7MonthsPostpartum#MomBod#FitMom

All I wanted one day was to be loved, be a momma, and have some dogs. Seriously, that was my dream.
See, growing up in a family like mine taught me that family is everything.
I wanted to build my own family and have the freedom to go on adventures, spend more time at home together instead of working our lives away, etc.
Before this opportunity I was scared of building our own family. I wasn’t confident we be able to provide for kids, dogs, and ourselves. I didn’t have a job that I loved but still challenged me to grow.
Insert my job now that was shared with me by a friend 3 years ago. I’ve been able to build a successful business from home because of it and cover the costs of my student loans, our groceries, random Amazon orders {for who knows what 😂}, my superfoods shakes, and MORE!
I want to now share with YOU how I’ve built this business, how it works, and how I can teach you how to do the same in my upcoming group this week called “What is Coaching?” ✖️Starts Tuesday 3/20 ✖️4 days long ✖️Completely casual ✖️No obligation to join as a coach, just some info
Hit that ❤️ button to find out how to be added.
I’m excited to share this with all who are interested to see if this is something for you & your family like it is mine.
I’ve watched this change so many other women’s lives and health, next could be you! ❤️ #coachlife#newopportunities#freegroup#obsessedwiththiscoachlife#7monthspostpartum#7monthsold#newmom#mompreneur#workfromhomemom#workfromhome#healthymom#fitmom#dogmom#militarywife#healthylife

Took me procrastinating until 1:30 P.M to get my morning workout in, but I did it. Some days it’s really a struggle to find the motivation but I’m always glad when I get it in! The feeling of accomplishment once it’s over makes it worth it. What drives you?! #letsjessup#workout#fitafterbaby#thestruggleisreal
